My head says Omega. My heart says Rolex. My wallet says neither. 😅

Man, that Aqua Terra just looks gorgeous. Never liked light-coloured dials but this one is an exception. Always liked simple watches with centre seconds, the fact that it also has a date complication is a huge bonus. The want is really strong with this one.

I’m still a “Noob” to the watch game, but to me the greatest attribute a watch can have is accessibility. I can find / not have to wait 18-24 months to get an Omega. That fact alone has me side with Omega. Brilliant timepiece that I can actually purchase.

Another great video. I got my Aqua Terra 2 years ago (the one with the yellow and black seconds hand). It was a pre owned, only a couple of years old, box and papers, from a local independent AD. It was nearly half the retail price! I absolutely love it. To me they are almost like a Grand Seiko. People that know about watches really appreciate them. Keep up the great work 👍

You don’t know how long i waited for this video, cheers Adrian.

I had this exact dilemma back in 2018. My heart was saying AT, my head was saying Explorer (and it's better residuals)... In the end I chose the AT and have no regrets. After almost 3 years of ownership, it still brings me joy every time I wear it. If I have any criticism of the watch, it's with the butterfly clasp. While the clasp is elegant and lovely to look at, it has no adjustment movement which is mighty inconvenient in the summer heat. Another great vid.

The moment Omega puts micro adjustment on every model, the brand will be fearsome. Same for Grand Seiko

I wanted the Rolex Explorer but after waiting several months and not being able to source one locallly, I got the Aqua Terra in blue (38mm). After wearing it for a while, it grew on me. I really love this watch. It's well made and the details like the anti reflective coating, the lines on the face and the hour markers make this a better choice for me than the Explorer.

Great video man! I was choosing between these exact two watches. I ended up buying the Aqua Terra (38mm blue dial). The main reason tbh was the availability. The whole buying experience was simply better with Omega. I felt like if I was paying this amount of money for a watch I didn't want to end up in some queue and have to wait for months to get what I actually payed for. Anyway, I'm extremely happy with Aqua Terra! Although I don't think you can go wrong with any of these watches.

I love my Aqua Terra (41mm, blue dial). Love the sunburst effect. I spent months trying on different sizes and colours before I decided on the one I ended up with. Is the Explorer better? I don't know. It's not like I can go walk into an AD and try one on. And that makes all the difference. (I also have a rule of not buying over retail)

[rebeccawarren]

I'm back to work after these bloody lockdowns, working hard and saving money and this summer i'm buying Aqua Terra 38 in black. One of the best everyday watches!

[Xibinatsu]

Great video as always. Just one remark: we talk at half speed while talking watch, when you are saying to subscribe and to like the channel you hit 5x speed. It doesn’t get old, it always cracks me up.

[TheyCallMeKent]

The aqua terra is my grail. saving every month to hopefully being able to afford it in a year or 2. the Aqua terra world timer aswell is just stunning

[andytiller]

I tried a 41mm green dial on this week?I'm sold on it. Rolex are a bit of a joke now, stupid false market prices, manufactured waiting lists, and for what. A watch that collectors can't now appreciate. Omega every time

[brynroberts]

I've definitely switch my focus from wanting an explorer to wanting an Aquaterra. I was always a bit worried that with the ex I'd find it wanting, as an everyday/frequent wear, because it doesn't have a date, which is something I like. For this reason and now that the 39mm ex is no more and prices on grey market are beyond any sense I've definitely discounted it. As far as the AT and the 300 are concerned is the AT is just a nicer looking watch.

[joseperez]

Your straightforward delivery has got to be top-notch and among the best in the business. Cheers Adrian and hope for more great content!

[Treetopflyer]

Love the AT. Having said that I just bought a SM300M. Because I couldn’t stomach paying 3X the price for a sub.
WRT price, I think one has to compare what the watches can ACTUALLY be had for. Let’s face it- most of us can’t get a sub or explorer at an AD. So a grey market AT vs grey market Explorer. The Rolex goes for >2X the price of the AT. Fine if you can afford it, but pretty much makes the decision for you if you can’t. In Canada, subs are selling for 18 grand. Explorers selling for 15 grand. I bought a brand new SM300m for 6k. A full 1/3 the price of a sub. I simply couldn’t justify it.
On paper from an AD, they’re only a couple grand apart. But that just simply isn’t reality.
Great video man!!!

[BetamaxBabe]

This is easy: Aqua Terra all day, every day. The only Rolex that would win is a ceramic Submariner at the same price, and since that will never happen, AT comes out on top!

[TheTimelyFocus]

Great video Adrian! Been considering picking up an AT for a while now and have watched this video so many times now. Excellent work!

[brentchittenden]

I own a 41mm Aqua Terra and absolutely love it. Such a great everyday watch.
